IMPROVED MEA-NS FOR HANGING MIRRORS. i

T WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, FnEDRIcK BROWN, ofthe city7 of Detroit, in the county of Wayne, and Steteo Michigon, have invented n new and useful Method of Hanging Reflecting Mirrors; Aund I do declare that the follow. ing is en :iccurnte description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, nnd.tothe lettere of reference marked thereon, being n part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a representation of the front of the apparatus, und shows the mode of attaching it to e window. t FigureQ is o transverse sectional view ofthe standard and' its attachments.

Figure 3 is o. side view of the mirrorl or reiiectol', and shows the mode of attaching it to the rod.

The same letters in each figure referto similar parts. Y o

,A represents `n window-frame, nnd E a. window-bench. Near the bottom of the i'rnme A I insert hollow screiys K K, into which I insert other screws L L provided with slots in the head, as :it d d. I then realce o hollow standard, B, into the bottom of which I plone n'spirnl spring,`0. To this hollow standard B I attach hooks PP, which hook into the slots (Z d. I then lise the stem Drwhich is made to work and fit into the 'hoiion standard B. This stem D rests nt the bottom upon theY top ot' the spiral spring O, when it is inserted into the` holiow standard B, and is tted with n thumb-screw, R, which, when the stem D is inserted into the hollow standard B, passes through the opening V and revolves in the slot W. This thumb-screw nets ns n stopte hold the reector at'any desired angle by raising into the gains a d, where itis rmly heid by the pressure of the spiral spring O. Near the top of the stem D I mnlre e hole, S, into which I insert the arm F. Upon this arm F I hangthe reflector H, (enclosed in the frame I,)-by means oi one lor more lstaples e. N is n thumb-screw passing through the staple-e to tightenthe reflector upon the nrm F. T is another th'umbecretr inserted 'into the top of the stein D to firmly hold the :iz-m VE in place described for the purposes specified.

It will be seen by my arrangement, as above described, that the whole npperntus con he readily attached or detached et any place-when it is desirable to use nreiiector. VThe design is to place'it outside et" a. Window to enable those -persons Vinside the room to obtain e'vlew of what is pssing in the street-.without the necessity of exposing themselves. By using the sume device on the opposite eide of the window-freine n vien1 may bevhed from opposite directions.

What I claim nsniy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The hollow stnndnrd B, with the opening V, theslotW,A and the spiral spring O; the stem D, with the set-screw T, and the arm F, arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The Ycombination and arrangement of the hollow stonderdvB, the stem D, the nrnx F,the mirror or .reflector H, the spiral spring` O, the hollow screws K K, the screws L 'L provided withthe slots d d, the thumbscrcws N R T, the hooks P P, the opening V, the slot W, and the gains a a, nll arranged substantially as FREDERICK intenti;v
